After Hurricane Sandy hit Staten Island, Farid and a group of his friends set out to help Farid's grandmother clean out her damaged home. Once they arrived, they realized just how many additional people needed help. Out of this they formed the "Sandy Yellow Team," in which their friends and family banded together to rebuild their community. The only rule: everyone had to wear yellow! Along the way, the Sandy Yellow Team sent out 1,000 home-cooked meals on Thanksgiving Day to various families affected by the storm's aftermath.
